The Victorian Era was a hot time for all things celestial. When Halley's comet soared across the heavens in 1835, star themed jewelry was sought after by all the fashionable ladies and gentlemen! Tiaras, necklaces and of course, brooches were embellished with star motifs, symbolizing a modern age, and to the sentimental Victorians, hope. The trend continued well into the Edwardian Era, with Queen Alexandra being known for wearing countless star brooches across her bodice.
Introducing "Dark Angel"-a stunning addition to anyone who collects antique jewelry! Crafted in 12 karat gold, it has an onyx cabochon with a seed pearl star motif center. Accented with black enamel, it may have once been worn as a mourning ring. An altogether fabulous piece, and of course, it will pair so well with our favorite color: black!
